What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MY BEST BUD” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is My Best Bud, a corporation organized in California. The mark was filed on December 20, 2018 on the Principal Register for class 005 goods, specifically nutritional supplements for pets. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the pet supplement market, where the wording is directly tied to the same product line. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the phrase, only over the specified goods. The prosecution history shows a standard Office action and response sequence, with no indication of a Supplemental Register transfer. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on January 28, 2020. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific pet supplement context remains a potential point of concern.
